Adobe Encore question at DVinfo.net

Nathan Petersen · August 27th, 2005, 03:59 PM

I have a 2 hour video edited and saved, however I forgot to export a portion of it and I dont feel like doing the whole thing over. Is there a way I can import 2 video files in Encore and have it play smooth when it gets to the other video.

I'm not sure, but I think so.
You can import the two videofiles, and in PROJECT, right-mousse click on the video that you imported, and choose NEW TIMELINE.
Then you have a timeline, and I think you can place the other, second video after it. Or maybe try the same with the second videofile (NEW TIMELINE) and then go to PROPERTIES in the first timeline, and type in END ACTION: the other, second timeline.
Try that, and check it out if it works, but as I said, I'm not sure.

Best regards,

I think this is the way you'll have to go. There will be a slight pause of course while changing sources on the disc, but that's probably the only way you can do it in Encore.

It will have a slight pause when finding the new imported bits.
The only way to have it completely smooth and seamless is to redo it
